Fafard Chalkboard Spaghum Moss Advertising Sign

Chalkboard advertising sign for Fafard Peat Moss, from Springfield Massachusetts distributor/retailer. The Conrad Fafard Co.’s initial startup was in 1930. After living in Massachusetts for 6 years, Conrad Fafard, a Canadian returned home and began selling hay from his family farm in Quebec to US livestock farmers. The business evolved to peat moss. To this day there is a Conrad Fafard in business in Massachusetts. Known for the manufacture of horticultural products “for your green thumb”. Sign is 24” by 18” by 1/4”. The enamel paint and chalkboard are both in excellent condition. There is some corner wear on all four corners and edges. Not bad considering age and use outside in garden shop. Sign is painted on 1/4” thick mason board. Masonboard was is use as early as the 1930’s in signage. There are three holes for mounting. A very nice unusual sign and excellent value. See photos.
